Aperture Foundation reviews

Very stressful environment. Staff juggling too many projects at once, trying to keep partners and board members happy, which creates a volatile culture in which there's a lot of sniping and finger pointing. Internal communication is poor, even though there are way too many meetings. Exec director takes a confrontational tone with the staff--this is an arts nonprofit, not Harvard Law School--and I didn't see this bring out the best in most people. I've never worked in a place where staffers were so on edge and defensive. Pay is low compared to the industry.

Like many other former work-scholars have said, the pay is incredibly low, which makes it almost impossible to afford to work there, unless you already live in NYC. Also overall, there was less diversity among the employees than I would have imagined.
